From Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo assured that under the House-to-House Health program, no elderly person or individual with a disability will be left without medical care at home. In Guerrero, this initiative has already provided 75,263 home consultations, bringing essential healthcare services directly to those who need them most.
“Healthcare workers leave their clinics and go out into the community to visit all older adults across the country,” Sheinbaum stated, highlighting that this is the most important preventive health program in the world. Its goal is to prevent people from ending up in hospitals by promoting a model of early and comprehensive care.
In Guerrero, 430,000 beneficiaries will be served through this strategy, thanks to the work of 900 doctors and nurses who will also reach rural and hard-to-access areas through mobile brigades. “There will be no place we won’t reach and no distance we can’t overcome,” emphasized Ariadna Montiel Reyes, Secretary of Welfare.
The president noted that the program will be complemented by Wellness Pharmacies, which will be located next to Health Centers and Wellness Stores, allowing users to access medications free of charge. She also highlighted the progress of the “Acapulco Transforms with You” program, which is addressing the damage caused by Hurricane Otis.
IMSS Director Zoé Robledo Aburto and Health Secretary David Kershenobich Stalnikowitz agreed that House-to-House Health represents an integrated, innovative, and personalized model that strengthens healthcare delivery—especially with the rehabilitation of the “Vicente Guerrero” General Hospital, which will soon have 500 beds. Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda affirmed: “There is no transformation without social justice, and there is no social justice without health.”
